Update 3 July 2026, 11:04am

M&E attended early this morning and the issue has been resolved. The Loco lift bridge is operational.

Unfortunately a boaters key has got stuck in the lock at Loco Lift Bridge and has made it inoperable for other boaters. We are hoping to have our M&E team out to it tomorrow to fix the mechanism.
